I have many hats and intend to regular post a picture of me in a different hat, cap or other headgear, then perhaps say something about them.
Note I'm not a hat expert, so what I say may not be totally correct, however after collecting so many different hats I can occasionally offer some insight.

A Sombrero, mexican hat, basically a very wide brimmed hat with a crown and upturned edge popular in Mexico used as a shield from the sun, these hats are wide enough to cast shadows over neck and shoulders.

This Sombrero however is possibly the worst hat I own, its made of compressed cardboard and is pure tourist tat, I'm sure if I ever got wet it would turn into paper mache.

Well one day I'm sure I will get a better quality Sombrero but for now this is all I have.

They were also worn by cowboys and in many other Spanish speaking countries
